It has been almost seven months since Shafter J. Couch was shot and killed through a kitchen window at his home. And it’s been nearly four months since David Ford of Campbellsville was murdered in his home.

Police have yet to make an arrest in either case.

According to a Taylor County Sheriff’s Office report, Couch, 26, was shot and killed at about 10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6 at his Taylor Chapel Road home. Police said it appeared that someone waited outside of Couch’s kitchen window and shot him when he entered the room.
